PoodleWorks
Smart. Curious. Yours.
Two credentialed Workday specialists. One focused on your people, one on your numbers.
Deep HCM and Financial Management expertise, from practitioners who have led implementations across some of the most complex environments in the ecosystem.
We work in the two halves of Workday where mistakes cost the most and show up fastest in production.
Human Capital Management, Recruiting, and Talent & Performance, designed by someone who has owned the system from the client side.
Financial Management at the architect level, from a CPA who spent fifteen years as a controller, accountant and auditor before touching Workday.
Engagement types: full-suite implementations, optimizations, post-production support, tenant audits, and M&A work.
PHR, SHRM-CP
9+ years of Workday experience and 30+ implementations across HCM, Recruiting, and Talent & Performance. Former Workday HRIS Analyst for an international workforce of 7,000+, so she knows what it feels like to own the system after the implementation team leaves.
Leana has served as a Principal Consultant and Product Lead at premier Workday Services Partners, leading complex engagements across some of the more demanding industries in the ecosystem: global retail, healthcare, education, financial services, oil and gas, and even professional sports.
Her depth on the HCM side is genuine. She has architected solutions for global organizations navigating multi-country compliance, M&A activity, union requirements, and high-volume cyclical hiring. These are the scenarios where the difference between a thoughtful design and a hasty one shows up immediately in production.
She holds both the PHR and SHRM-CP designations, which means she understands the HR side of the house, not just the system that supports it.
Before moving fully into consulting, Leana managed HCM, Recruiting, and Talent as a Workday HRIS Analyst across an international workforce of 7,000+ employees. That client-side experience gives her an instinct most consultants lack.
Loyal, curious, and relentless about getting the details right. She fits right in around here.
CPA, CIA
8+ years of Workday experience and 50+ implementations, on top of 15 years as a Controller, Accountant, and Auditor. He knows what the numbers actually mean, not just where they go in the system.
Before specializing in Workday, Luke spent over 15 years in the trenches as a Controller, Accountant, and Auditor across healthcare, retail, architecture, and financial services.
On the Workday side, he has led Financial Management workstreams at the architect level across a wide range of industries and engagement types, including full-suite implementations, optimizations, post-production support, tenant audits, and M&A work. His depth spans FDM strategy, Financial Accounting, Assets, Expenses, Allocations, Consolidations, and Reporting. He has also served as a VP & Director of Delivery, which means he understands how implementations succeed or fall apart from the inside.
He holds a CPA license in Texas and is a Certified Internal Auditor. These are credentials that tend to matter quite a bit when your Workday consultant is configuring your chart of accounts.
Like any good poodle, he'll retrieve exactly what you need, and he won't stop until the job is done.
